Energy & Nature

Energy & Nature. Two things we all have a connection to and yet so rarely pay attention to.

This past weekend I spent time visiting and working with friends. And for a couple of hours each day, we hiked, played with my dogs and theirs. And we laughed. And laughed. Something I haven't really done for quite a while.

Like most of us living in urban and suburban areas, I too, get so busy with 'life' that I sometimes forget about the simple and amazing energy of nature. I certainly haven't spent time outdoors as much as I would like. However, this weekend I had the opportunity to do so and had several really profound experiences. Starting with an almost complete unplugging from cell phones and the internet. I forgot my phone charger and where I was staying there was no wifi, so service was sporadic. Oh and my car died. Instead of panicking about what I was going to do, I took each moment as it came, got a lot of work done and spent a lot of time outdoors.

Each morning I took my dogs for long hikes in the hills and played with them at the river. Every night I went with my friend to help her with her horse chores. Which consisted of me hanging out and watching her two horses and donkey as she fed them and cleaned up their corral. While she did so, I leaned on the fence, rubbed horsey and donkey ears, listened to and felt the warm summer wind blowing through the pines and watched dogs running into and playing in the lake.

So what was so interesting or profound in that? Silence. The absolute absence of our 21st century noise. No cars. No TV's. No radios. Just nature in all her amazing abundance. I could feel the energy transferring from the earth radiating through me. I breathed in clean, clear mountain air and felt tension I wasn't even aware of gently and easily slipping through me and away. Through these moments of just 'being' in the present and taking the time to breathe and enjoy the simple beauty around me, I came home feeling more at peace and calmer than I have been in a very long time. It was a magical experience and the weekend was filled with many of these moments of magic.

My point? It isn't new age malarkey. All the self-help, new age, meditation sites continuously say "Go outside and connect with the earth". They aren't wrong. We should all be getting outside, standing on the ground, leaning on a tree and soaking in the incredibly revitalizing energy of our planet. Maybe if we all did this even for a short period of time each day, we could all re-charge and help create a saner, quieter & calmer environment for all.

We all need to unplug and recharge and take moments each day to experience and express our gratitude for the abundance, beauty and energy that surrounds us. Because we all need to tune in to the nature and energy around us. To get back to a balance and in harmony with nature and our selves.

I am often asked what the cost of our programs is and usually upon
hearing the rate people are surprised. However, if you compare our per session
& package rates with other therapies:
Massage Therapy $90 - $110 per hour
Chiropractic: $75- $120 per hour
Other alternative practices $100 – 200 per 60 minutes
Clinical Counselling (Psychology) $230+ per hour
Triquetra: $150 per session (average session is 90 minutes) IF a
session goes longer I do not simply cut you off and say well pick up next time.
Chances are if a session is shorter one visit the next one will be longer.
So that being said, the basis of this article will only compare the costs of diet programs:
Costs of our therapies vs diet programs
All diet programs work to some degree or another depending on how
strong your determination/willpower/reasons are to follow through. However the
ONE thing that none of them do is to actually address the UNDERLYING reasons
for your continued inability to lose and permanently keep the …

I was going to video this entry today - but mother nature has seen fit to send us beautful blue skies and a howling wind from the northwest. It is so loud that I can barely hear myself think - never mind trying to record anything :)

Anyway - In April, we relocated to an amazingly quiet property north of Prince George. We are now on a 1200 acre ranch and we are all loving the peace & quiet. No noise - other than nature. The robins start at 4am, followed by sand hill cranes and a flock of swallows that have been busily trying to build nests on the house. My roosters also start carrying on around 4:30 and then we can randomly hear coyotes, woodpeckers and all sorts of critters. My commute to my new office in town is approximately 40 minutes and I am fortunate enough to be able to do a lot of work from home now too. Most of that work so far has been getting the horses and chickens settled in, gardening, and maintenance around the yard. As I continue to heal from my own health journey…

It is hard to believe that 2017 is almost over and it seems like it has been a year of whirlwind changes and experiences.

Over the spring I was working at trying to define and re-brand my business and kept meeting with a lot of internal resistance to doing so. About the time that I finally & reluctantly gave in to accept some of the changes that had been proposed - my world came to a crashing halt.

The fires of 2017 in the cariboo region of BC sent us (me & all my critters) into evacuation. We ended up back on the lower mainland because I had family to stay with, and a large stable was offered to board my horses and chickens at. We were safe. I will only say that the entire experience of having to evacuate my animals in the dark of night, travelling through the only open 'escape' route available to the entire town of 100 Mile House and an all night drive through smoke so thick it was at times hard to even see the road ahead - is not an experience I EVER want to go thro…
